Welcome to VR-VET Public Documents - your gateway to innovative resources that are revolutionising vocational education and training through Virtual Reality (VR):
Here, you'll find a collection of essential documents that combine technology and expertise to support the teaching of Non-Destructive
Testing (NDT), particularly in liquid penetrant testing.
These project resources are designed for a diverse range of target groups, including:
• Educators and Trainers looking to introduce immersive learning into welding inspection and NDT courses.
• Industry Professionals looking to improve quality control through advanced VR-based training.
• Institutions and Stakeholders interested in creating a skilled workforce trained in modern inspection techniques.
Integrating VR technology into NDT training can ‘bridge the gap between theory and practice’ offering trainees a safe and controlled
environment to learn complex techniques, such as liquid penetrant testing and weld defect inspection, before applying them in real-world
scenarios.
